Topic

Updated libxml2 packages that resolve an issue are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 5.

Description

The libxml2 library provides a development tool to manipulate XML and HTML
files. The library also implements various XML and HTML standards. One of those
standards is XML Schemas which allows validation of the content of an XML
document.

This update fixes the following bug:

  • The libxml2 XML Schemas implementation allowed empty values for integer fields

using, for example, the predefined schemas type, xsd:byte. This led to unwanted
validation of documents that were invalid per these schemas. The implementation
has been modified to forbid those empty integer values, and all documents
containing such values will now fail the XML Schemas validation. (BZ#747865)

All users of libxml2 are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix
this bug.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
